The evolution of the ladies' pocket
books is wonderful. One year ago the
ladies were satisfied with dminutive
affair they could hide in the palms of
their hands. In 365 days the pocket
books has grown to the length of good
sized, healthy ear of corn. Here are
illustrations showing the length the

In which he pillages and preys;
| must admit his views express
a philosophic easiness;
A large contempt of vulgar gain
never dream l may attain.
A need whose clamorings adjust
Themselves into a shred or crust;
Whose craving fervors all unite
And center in the appetite.
Till drOwsy torpOrs all confess
Repletion is his happiness.
With sly expedient and shift
He levieS upon others thrift.
The farmer drives his team afield,
So nature may her tribute yield;
And when the harvest horde arrives,
This predatory rover thrives.
The cackling hen, the lowing kline,
The waddling geese. the grunting swine,
The winnOwed wheat, the gathered corn,
The herald chanticleer of morn,
The orchards russell spheres or red,
The busy housewives tart or bread,
Products of growth or labor, all
Unto this careless fellow fall.
Until he seems of deep content
the cheerfulest embodiment.

One Of Carols Prominent Citizens.

One OF Caro'S Prominent Citizens.
Last Tuesday John Staley, Jr., took
his final departure for Grayling where
he will embark in the banking business.
AS we have before mentioned, he will
be much missed, as lac has been identi-
fed with the interests Of Tuscola
county for the past 90 years. From
1867 to 1872 he followed surveying,
and served as a county surveyor one
term; was supervisor of Akron town
ship for six successive years and filed
some of the most important positions
on the board. In 1876 was elected
register of deeds in this county, was
nominated for a second term by accla-
nation and elected. Or retiring from
his second term he was appointed by
Judge johnson as register of probate
court, in which capacity he served for
three years, and on the death of Judge
Johnson would have been appointed
Judge, had not that old fossil "Uncle
Josiah" been disgracing the guberna-
torial chair After that Mr., Staley
was interested in the abstract and real
estate business until something over a
year ago, when lac was compelled to
retire on account Of iii health. In all
his positions no word has ever been
said as to incompetency or lack of
honesty or integrity. What is our loss
is Cravings gain. Her citizens may
well be proud OF the acquisition of so
eslmable Q citizen to their number.
